300 hp sounds good but not good enough to get past its look.

if anything i'd guess it's the Avalon V6 which just got re-rated closer to 270 i believe.

i think they are around $25K....
i'm assuming the bigger (in size) RAV4 with most likely optional V6 will be in the $30K range.

Wow, a three row RAV4? I wonder if they'll have a 350 hp hybrid version soon...

Hmm. Maybe the RAV4 will break out of being the poster-car for lesbians.

300hp in a small SUV? Sounds like overkill to me. Don't get me wrong: more power the better. But unless they want to get rid of the Highlander, Toyota's marketing for this thing would be suspect IMO.

It looks decent, and the interior is pretty cool.

i didn't catch the 3rd row note at first... but yeah. I wonder what they're planning to do with the highlander... move it further upscale?? but then they're getting too close to the Lexus RX330.... hmmmm

Hey! Don't be so stereotypical! I personally don't like the Rav4.
